Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, plus more for greasing pan
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Half of a 14-ounce can dulce de leche
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan (a square pan will result in thicker brownies).
  • In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) into the prepared pan.
  • Place the dulce de leche in a glass bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. Drop large dollops of dulce de leche on the surface of the brownie batter. Use a knife to slowly swirl it through the batter. Don't drag the knife sideways through the batter; hold it so the thin side of the knife leads the way.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If they are overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes (just be careful not to burn the edges). Allow to cool completely (important!), then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into small squares.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL BROWNIES RECIPE



Chocolate Caramel Brownies Recipe image

Chocolate Caramel Brownies are so yummy and easy to make. They are covered in creamy caramel.

Provided by Contributor

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter
12 ounces bitter sweet chocolate chips (or semi sweet, coarsely chopped)
1 ½ cups sugar
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 ¼ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cup pecans (chopped (optional))
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
14 ounces caramels (unwrapped)
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan generously with Pam or for easy cleanup line pan with foil and grease the foil really well with butter or non stick cooking spray. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave in intervals of 1 minute at 50% power until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, stirring in between intervals.
  • Whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla until incorporated. Stir in the flour and salt just until combined.
  • Spread about half of the brownie batter in the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake for 18 minutes. While they are baking, make the caramel filling.
  • Meanwhile, while the brownies are cooking, add the chopped pecans (if using) to a medium skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and light golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • To make the caramel filling, combine the caramels and cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir. Repeat the process, keeping a close eye on the mixture as it can burn very easily (make sure you use low heat in the microwave). Continue the microwave process until the caramels and cream are melted and combined. Stir in half of the pecans to the caramel mixture. Immediately spread the caramel mixture over the bottom brownie layer.
  • Scoop the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls over the caramel layer and spread it evenly across the caramel layer (spooning the batter in piles over the caramel will help to get an even layer of batter over the caramel).
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips and the remaining pecans on top of the final brownie layer. Bake for an additional 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing and serving. I found the brownies sliced easier once they had been cooled and refrigerated for an hour or two.
  • Slice the brownies and lift from the pan with a spatula, or lift using the edges of the foil. Remove the foil and cut the brownies into individual squares. Store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • To achieve fudgy brownies, avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a cakey texture. It's better to mix just until combined.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with moist crumbs attached, the brownies are ready.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate works well.
  • To make the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Stir the sauce constantly to ensure even cooking.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil the brownies for a few minutes to create a crispy caramel topping.

Conclusion:

These caramel brownies are an indulgent and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their fudgy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and decadent caramel topping, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give these caramel brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
